Yes: Is it 0.5 mg or 5 mg, there is a big difference. Most likely if its 0.5 mg you should be more relaxed or sleeping. You will need someone to drive you to and from the procedure. Xanax (alprazolam) could last up to minimum of 3 hours or longer. Chew the tabs up one at a time and see if you relax enough to use less. Good luck you will do fine!

HUH?: How much? I think that this dose is wrong. Xanax (alprazolam) is an anti-anxiety medication. Doses of .25mg/ .5mg/ 1mg/ 2mg. Very safe and makes you relaxed and drowsy. Common for procedures.

Xanax (alprazolam): You probably meant 3 of the 0.5mg. Tablets. As long as it is used on as needed basis prior to procedure, u should be ok.
